    • BOW Technologies Wizard
    loved this player and the matching amp
    • BOW Technologies Wazoo XL
    Great amp. Sounded more like a valve amp. Apparently based on a valve circuit without many active components. Bit unreliable though.
    • Townshend Audio Glastonbury II
    Weighed 90lbs each. Aluminium farma with plaster type filling. Very inert. Single full range metal coned Tom Jordan Driver and a Ribbon Hypertweeter. Absolutely amazing. Bass down to 20 Khz.

Hi - i bought them second hand from a guy in UK who had them in his second system. He had the Hyperion's in his main system which was why I wanted a pair so badly.
The townshends are an amazing speaker. When you consider what you can pick a pair up for in UK it is ridiculous that so much performance can be available for so litle money.
I had mine on Townshend speaker stands/ cradles which cleaned the bass in a small room very well.
If you get a chance to buy some then go for it - you would not be disapointed. Thanks for the comment. Regards Jon

Oh my God! I remember reading a review of the Townshend Glastonbury speakers in HI FI News and Record Review when they came out many years ago. I wanted them so badly! I'm not sure if there was even an American distributor at the time, but I was too poor anyway. I would love to hear them. Did you buy them new, or second hand?
